YotaPhone 3 Launch Date – End of 2017

The news about YotaPhone 3 was mostly pessimistic. Earlier, the company’s representatives couldn’t find enough money to start the production. However, a month ago a teaser of the new smartphone appeared on the official website of Yota Devices with pre-orders starting in summer. Now, there’s another piece of information and it’s very reassuring.
Vasily Potapov, CEO of Yota Devices, said that the company would receive more funding from China Baoli Technologies. The Chinese company owns 25% of Yota Devices and it will provide extra $15M for finishing the development of YotaPhone 3 and starting its mass production. By the end of 2017, the smartphone will be released in China. After that, it will appear in other countries as well. Unfortunately, there is no available information about the specs of YotaPhone 3.
The first two editions of YotaPhone were quite successful, especially in Asia. As a reminder, the main feature of YotaPhone is an additional E-Ink display on the back. It allows users to read texts, books or news on the Internet without losing the battery.
